A pairing of two reputable imprints in footwear, Japanese label Onitsuka Tiger has teamed up with Rotterdam store WOEI to rework the Colorado 85. In honor of Onitsuka Tiger’s 30th anniversary, the sneaker is highlighted by ceremonial golden accents inspired by the vigor of a cervidae. The brown and beige upper features 3M reflective detailing on its toe and heel cap, while a perforated toebox and D-ring eyelets offer a distinctive, athletic look.

The Cervidae II will be available at WOEI on June 13 and international stockists from June 20.

Following the unveiling of the “Burgundy” colorway just a couple days back, Onitsuka Tiger presents a new unique rendition of the iconic Colorado Eighty-Five retro runner.

Vibrant red inner lining and leather details at the heel and tongue round out the premium offering.

Onitsuka Tiger, has chosen two designers from its native Japan to celebrate the 30 year anniversary model of the iconic Colorado Eighty-Five runner.

The vibrant colorways of the retro silhouette, originally released in 1985, have been put together in association with FACETASM and DIGAWEL (pictured above) and will be released exclusively at Dover Street Market Ginza. Sporting a white mesh base, DIGAWEL’s take on the Eighty-Five sports a grey outsole along with a cream-colored midsole and multicolored suede overlays across the entirety of the upper.

Having honed his skills working with luxurious brand such as Prada, Calvin Klein and Yves Saint Laurent, Andrea Pompilio again teams up with Japanese sporting label Tokyo Onitsuka Tiger on a collection for 2015 fall/winter. Following a 2014 fall/winter footwear line, the Italian designer again brings forth his relaxed yet sophisticated style to the limelight, showing his ability to mix technical and functional elements in a slew of street-ready designs for recent Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week.

Ski jackets are matched with loose-fitted short and tights. Collegiate logos take on other voluminous outerwear, and pieced together with outdoor accessories such as belt bags, beanies and gloves. With a strong focus on quality, Pompilio presents a collection in line with current outdoor-inspired trends seen on and off the runway.

ASICS has relaunched its ASICS Tiger line, aiming to target the ever-popular “sport-lifestyle” market. Originally inaugurated in 1977, the brand was popular with sneaker enthusiasts and athletes alike, until it was discontinued two decades ago. The line falls somewhere in between ASICS’ performance sports line and its casual Onitsuka Tiger brand.

A key item in the TIGER brand is ASICS’ much-loved GEL-Lyte III silhouette, which debuted in the 1990s, featuring a thick sole and split tongue. With the relaunch event, guests were able to check out some upcoming colorways for the classic silhouette, celebrating the 25th anniversary of the shoe. We take you to Singapore for the launch party of ASICS Tiger in Southeast Asia, with an inside look the event. The installation included a homey setup to emulate a “sneakerhead’s” living room, with an entire space being filled with collaborative pieces on display, such as Ronnie Feig’s collaboration, along with shelves and a glass enclosure of varying styles and silhouettes.
